Everything You Need to Know About Isomalt in Tea Spheres

Imagine dropping a crystal-clear sphere into your teapot and watching as it gracefully dissolves, releasing a perfect blend of flavors into your hot water. Our isomalt tea spheres aren’t just tea containers – they’re an experience that transforms your daily tea ritual into something magical. As more tea enthusiasts discover our spheres, we often receive questions about isomalt, the remarkable material that makes this experience possible.

What Is Isomalt? Breaking Down the Basics

Isomalt is a natural sugar substitute derived from beet sugar through a special process that reorganizes sugar molecules to create a unique substance with remarkable properties. Unlike regular sugar, isomalt maintains perfect clarity when solidified and offers superior stability – qualities that make it ideal for our artisanal tea spheres.

 

Safety and Health Considerations

We understand that when trying something new, safety is a top priority. Rest assured that isomalt is FDA-approved and has been used safely in food products for decades. It’s one of the most thoroughly tested food ingredients, with numerous studies confirming its safety.

Dietary Compatibility

• Diabetes-Friendly: Isomalt has a very low glycemic index (2) compared to regular sugar (65), making it suitable for people managing blood sugar levels.
• Keto-Compatible: With just 2 calories per gram (half that of sugar) and minimal impact on blood sugar, our tea spheres can fit into a ketogenic lifestyle.
• Gluten-Free: Isomalt is naturally gluten-free and processed in a way that maintains this status.
• Low-Calorie: You can enjoy the beautiful presentation without significant caloric impact.
• Dental-Friendly: Unlike regular sugar, isomalt does not promote tooth decay (caries). It's non-cariogenic, making it a safer choice for both adults and children.
• Prebiotic Properties: Isomalt acts as a prebiotic, supporting the growth of beneficial gut bacteria and contributing to digestive health.

Note: While completely safe for consumption, as with any sugar alcohol, enjoying your tea spheres as part of a balanced diet is recommended.
